Here’s a new bunch that promises to get under your ‘SKINN.'
Led by Kimmii Adorea Heart on vocals, seasoned band Reality Suite stuns in their full-length release, “SKINN,” which culls the brand of rock by recent acts Orianthi, Halestorm, and I dare say, THE Courtney Love.
The 10-track banger opens the way a good album should in “Wingman:” muscular rhythms and beats courtesy of the boys (Joe Padula, guitars; Brian King, drums and synths; Antonio Valenti, bass and vocals), and vocal work fronted by Kimmii’s “strong girl” chops.
The band changes tempo come “Conspire,” a kiss-off slow rock anthem, and even the emotionally superb “The Red Lights,” but quickly returns to action with my personal favorite, “Vegas Holiday,” signaling the set’s second act
.
“Sinking In” (reminiscent of early Fefe Dobson) gives us the idea that these guys aren’t slowing down ’til the end. True enough, “Save My Life” seals the deal.
